Hundreds are dead, many more missing and thousands at risk from massive flooding in Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe caused by Cyclone Idai and persistent rains.

A man stands on the edge of a collapsed bridge in Chimanimani, about 600 kilometers southeast of Harare, Zimbabwe, Monday, March 18, 2019.

JOHANNESBURG — International aid agencies and government officials are scrambling Tuesday to rescue families trapped by the floodwaters from rivers that have burst their banks and are still rising. Mozambique’s President Filipe Nyusi said the death toll could go as high as 1,000 from the cyclone and flooding. Although emergency workers caution they do not know if the fatalities will reach that estimate, they say this is the most destructive flooding in 20 years.

Hardest hit by the cyclone is Mozambique’s Beira port, a city of 500,000, where thousands of homes have been destroyed. Flooding waters have inundated large areas of rural Mozambique and its neighboring countries.

Death toll in Mozambique cyclone, floods could surpass 1,000: presidentThe number of people killed in a powerful storm and preceding floods in Mozambiq... With all of this devastation has anyone notice how much the president has been talking about this tragedy? Yeah me neither. Guess they don't count because they live in one of his sh*thole countries. SMH fakeasschristians Trump didn’t say anything about the president of Zimbabwe turning of the internet and murdering his own people either. Probably cause they’re buddies w Putin. Frat boys 🙄 Whelp, I guess the Mass Media is finally jumping on the 'Global Warming Train' full speed, then huh? Amazing how, after years of denying it, all these newspapers are now in support: Now that we are only 20 years (max) away from the technology to fix any Environmental Issues.
